Deneyim Detayları

Chichicastenango, popularly called “Chichi” by locals, is an indigenous town in the Guatemalan Highlands where a kaleidoscope of colors, shapes, traditions and tastes, takes place. Its market days predates the Spanish arrival and still draws people from far and wide to trade fresh products, handcrafted goods, vibrant textiles and local recipes. This experience walking through lively streets, visiting the cemetery, a traditional mask workshop, and the historic Santo Tomás Church, guided by experts and passioned local friends.


Our visit includes one on one time with a local costume factory called Morería, where generation after generation the family has dedicated their passion and art to the creation of traditional customes worn or dressed at festive dances, step inside of Santo Tomás Church to appreciate how Maya and Catholicism Ideology has blended together.

Cemetery

You probably will get shoked by the way we manage our relationship with afterlife.

Not worth the effort to get there
Mayıs 05, 2025

Very unimpressed. Just did not compare to markets in Istanbul, Guamote in Ecuador, Omdurman in Khartoum. Everything is relative. The day trip from Panajachel to Chichi was not worth it.
